ForoCIBER 2018

I’ve
been
in the second edition of
ForoCiber
last Friday in Badajoz where speakers have spoken about technological
law and IT security. I
had already been in the First
National ForoCiber Summitin
Cáceres
and I didn’t want
to miss the
ForoCiber summit this year
because it’s one of the few meeting about IT security in
Extremadura. In
addition, ForoCiber is not only about IT security but technological
law as well what means IT
engineers and lawyers share knowledges and point of views, which
is very interesting.
Therefore, I want to make an overview about the second edition of
ForoCiber in this post.

The
first speaker was the judge Eloy
Velasco
from the Spanish National Court who talked about technologies
for crime investigations.
He spoke about the
criminal prosecution law 13/2015 and
he also
told
us many stories and examples. For
instance, he talked about the case of banking data theft by Falciani
and the investigation of shooting in San Bernardino (California)
where
protection of fundamental rights and collaboration with the justice
is important and mandatory in Spain. He
also talked about geolocation, cameras, microphones, etc
used for his investigations as a judge. It was a really interesting
talk.

The
next speech
was for Susana González
from Hiberus who
talked about Data Protection
Management System into General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)where
risk
identification, risk assessment and risk management is
important into the Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA). In
addition, she spoke about Privacy
by Design & Default
where
companies
should process personal data with data protection and privacy in mind
at every step and where strictest privacy setting should apply by
default. It
was a non-tech talk but a security management talk.

Miguel
Ángel Arrollofounder
of Hack&Beers was
the next speaker who talked about SOCMINT:
Social Media Intelligence.
From
my point of view, it was a funny and interesting talk because he show
many online tools for Social Media Intelligence like
tinfoleak
for searching Twitter users leaks, IntelTechniques
where there are many online tools and app.teachingprivacy.org
where we can search Twitter or Instagram users to find out where
someone’s been posting from recently. The
best recommendation is to disable geolocation into social media
applications.

Once
again, Enrique Ávila
comes to ForoCiber. This
time, Enrique as Manager at Spanish National Centre of Excellence on
CyberSecurity (CNEC)
talked
about Strategic Cyber
Intelligence.
He
highlighted the importance of multidisciplinary teams to improve
protection on
cyberspace. In addition, he spoke about the strategic
talent reserve on cyberdefense and cybersecurity
where technical
profiles could be required by the government as voluntaries to
protect and help Spain.

Finally,
Manuel López
who works as a National Police of Spain talked about Computer
Forensics.
He
spoke about the importance of chain of custody but he also spoke
about the danger and the difficulty
to get into criminal’s houses to get evidences. In
addition, he told us that most forensic tasks he does are against
mobile devices like smartphones and tablets, although he has also had
to analyse laptops, servers or video game consoles.

To
sum up, it has been an interesting summit and I would like to say
thanks to the organization for their hard and good job.
